Ricky Holmes may not have had as much natural talent as Johny but his end product was miles better.Redrobo said:Ricky Holmes was a similar run at players type, but not half as talented as Williams. He scored 19 goals in his two years with us. Just saying.
Scoring goals
Creating chances
Free kicks
All at a better standard than Johnny imo.
Honestly, who cares about those two points, on the pitch is where it counts
Redrobo and blackpool's excellent observations stand1 -
Is he? After taxes I'd suggest he's not a millionaire.ElfsborgAddick said:

Free transfers spell signing on fees, we'll never know for sure either way.2 -
As much as I like the fella, Williams isn't fit to lace Ricky's boots! Holmes was class for us. Can talk about bank balances, but Ricky was by far the better player for CAFC12

Nice to see Williams jumping around after the Wales win though.0

Not fit to lace his boots is a bit extreme what ever you think about Williams. The fact is one keeps getting signed by championship managers one didn't.YTS1978 said:As much as I like the fella, Williams isn't fit to lace Ricky's boots! Holmes was class for us.

Not so nice when he picks up a calf strain as a result!Redrobo said:Nice to see Williams jumping around after the Wales win though.5 -
Not the best comparison really.Cafc43v3r said:

Holmes spent the majority of his career in the lower leagues, & peaked with us.
Had he been a bit younger, & not kicked to pieces, he would've been desired at championship level for sure.
Williams, being younger, & playing mostly in the top 2 divisons in his career (aside from the 2 L1 spells with us), is still seen as someone who can come good/live up to his potential, if he stays fit.
That's why Championship managers will take a punt on him.3 -
Haha...that comment was a little tongue in cheek tbf! My point is Ricky did so much more in a Charlton shirt than Williams ever did. I like JW, but his record is just not comparable.Cafc43v3r said:

Shurley shome mishtake.
Williams is Championship class.6 -
His biggest fans can say he signed for a Championship club and went to the Euros, his biggest doubters can say he’s found his level.
The rest of us are happy we no longer have to discuss whether we’d bring him back. It’s perfect.

He had been linked with a couple of Championship clubs, and if not surely a L1 side might have been interested, but ended up in an L2 side who have been in massive financial difficulties1 -
The one thing we know about Jonny is that he’s a confidence player. Maybe he looked at Swindon and thought that’s the place he wants to be.I have no doubt he could’ve got a deal with a Wimbledon or a Gillingham but perhaps those set ups aren’t suited to get the best out of his personality.1
-
Good luck to him. Hope he can get a bit of form together and stay fit. If he does that then maybe he get himself up a level or 2. Quite admire him for sticking with it rather than jacking it in.18

Bless his cotton socks !
Wish him well.3 -
Genuinely so shocked at this, he’s so so much better than that level it’s ridiculous.
Wish him all the very best and maybe a good season will make other clubs be more interested next summer.

Perhaps he's got an electric car & recharging issues means he can only commute 50 miles from Cardiff.12

Bizarre transfer, fair play to him because I doubt money was his motivation.3

Everyone knows you don't rate him, fair enough, but you don't have to slag him off on every thread. There will be a Watson is old joke within a page.......Covered End said:Shurley shome mistake.

He will be injured by end of August. Kicked up in the air for fun in that League.0

Did Swindon find a new owner as i thought they were close to going bust a few weeks ago?2
-
I honestly dont get the shocked reaction. Plenty of people on here keep saying he is championship quality and he was at the Euros etc. If he was championship quality he would be playing there. He never got near playing in the Euros. Lovely fella but massively overrated on here I think.4

Please can you get a gig for Watson as he's too old for Charlton1 -

Lovely bloke, but he's completely unproductive.
Hope for him he thrives and earns a move back up the football ladder though3 -
People are shocked he's dropped down to league 2, not shocked that he hasn't got a championship deal.AndyG said:I honestly dont get the shocked reaction.

He's definitely better than that.2 -
I hope he stays fit and plays.0
